To say that the team avoided an early start for the first time in days is probably a little disingenuous, as we technically didn’t stop from the day before. Leaving the previous night’s reception late in the evening, the team
Day 9 – “There is no I in Team (but There are Several Vs)”
No surprise, another early start. However, this one was particularly slick and slightly poignant, as it was the last one in Kenya after some great acclimatisation and amazing time on their challenging range. Team vehicles were packed with the usual
Day 8 – “Shots to Count”
A similarly early start to yesterday, albeit with breakfast on the more conventional restaurant location. On arrival at the range we were once again greeted by ours hosts, who had already started the process of rigging the range, posting target
Day 7 – “Bright and Breezy”
We had an early start for the first day of shooting, a mx of individual and team drills. Target teams met for 0630 breakfast to discuss plans, preferences and a shooting order, before loading up and getting on the road

Day 3 – “Altitude Acclimatisation”
In the early hours of the morning, we set off in our vehicles with an escort from the Kenyan Police where one particular bus indulged in sun-downers turned sun-uppers using their duty free. After a few hours, we arrived at
Day 2 – “Groundhog Day”
The team emerged from the Sofitel with renewed confidence that we would be making it onto the plane. And luckily for us, Lorraine was on duty once more to help us start our journey. Check-in went without a hitch and
Day 1 (and Day 0) – “Leaving on a jet…… Oh”
The team gathered to pack all of our kit together under the watchful eyes of the baggage masters, Rick Webb and Rupert Riley. The process of not packing more than 23kg seemed to be difficult for some… With everything packed
